The registration procedure is conducted using the following procedure:

  • The tickets will be counted and must coincide with amount of payment you will be charged using your credit card. Do not bring cash or checks for payment.
  • The person with the highest amount of raffle ticket sales receives ½ of his total after the $150 entry fee has been paid. That amount will remain in your account and you will only owe the $150 and ½ of the raffle sales total.
